    I HAVE BEEN HERE, AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL. ITS A BIT HARD TO GET TO, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SIGNS, BUT ITS NICE.

    HERE IS THE WEBSITE, I DO NOT WORK FOR, I DO NOT OWN, AND I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THIS TRUCK STOP. I JUST KNOW THAT FOR YEARS WE (THE TRUCKERS) HAVE BEEN BEGGING FOR A REAL TRUCK STOP IN SOUTH FLORIDA, AND WE FINALLY HAVE ONE!!!

    HERE IS THE LINK:

    when i say it's hard to get to, its easily accessible, it's just way back off the road, and you have to make like 5 or 6 turns to get to it. Just follow the signs and you'll be fine, plenty of space on the roads for trucks.

    is it a corp who owns this or is it really an Independent company who is doing this would be nice to see some more single entity run truck stops again as those are 20 times better than what the pilots or ta's can do

    I have been there. It is a Ambest truckstop,it is nice but pricey.$15 to park,$10 with 75 gallons of fuel and they still charge for a shower even if you buy fuel. I do not pay to park,just one of my pet peeves.

    $15 to park in Miami is crazy. $10 to park after buying $300 of fuel is even crazier. There are so many places in Miami to park for free its silly. I have slept at so many places in Miami Ive lost track of them.

    There's also a pilot on US 27 (Okachobee ave) about 1/2 mile north of 826. This is a previous TS that Pilot just aquired.

    Then there is the seminole truckstop on US 27 about 2 miles south of I-75. If you buy 65 gallons you can have your choice of a free shower ( no toilet) or free overnight parking. It has a subway in it just like 80% of the peelots!!

    Bestest feature here is a Tiki bar on location with cold ones and good food,BTW.

    I didn't know about the pilot on 27. I always stay in fort pierce and drive in closer to my delivery time.

    If the J at the 131 and the peelot at the 129 are full you can go down to the 112 (SB) and park at the new 14 million dollar facility that just opened this April. The newest Florida coop!

    Guaranteed parking available.....(grin)
